Cloud9 IDE running on the Raspberry Pi

[XavM]

Just to let people know : It is possible to install the Web based IDE Cloud9 on the Raspberry Pi

When googling around about c9 on the Raspberry Pi , nothing poped up;
So I tried and ... it just works.

I still didn't try anything else than install, launch and test c9 with some first level browsing, and I can't tell if every thing works as expected.

More over, assuming that the R-Pi has limited CPU, Memory and IO, I am still not sure there is any kind of interest to run c9 on the Pi, but ... it is fun to know it works.

Here is what I had to do to have it to work :

sudo npm install -g sm
git clone https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9.git cloud9
cd cloud9
sm install

#At this step I had a HTTP 502 Error on treehugger module and had to proceed like this :

npm install treehugger
sm install --cached
sudo sm install

#At this step some modules were still missing and I had to install them manually :

npm install formidable
npm install gnu-tools
npm install xmldom

#The c9 startup script rely on "uname -a" to detect the OS and I had to edit "bin/cloud9.sh and add the following lines before "*) echo "Unknown OS"" :

Linux*raspberrypi*) echo "Linux raspberrypi ARM"
node server.js "$@" -a x-www-browser
;;

#To allow c9 on the R-pi to be accessed from a remote browser edit "configs/default.js" and adjust like this :
var host = argv.l || "0.0.0.0";

#To start Cloud9 :
bin/cloud9.sh -w ~/MySuperProject

#You can now access the c9 Web based IDE at the following URL :
http://Your_R-Pi_IP_Adress:3131

I have been having problems with libxml and xmldom. I am getting ENOSPC errors. Could I be running out of space in a temp dir? I set TMPDIR to /home/pi/tmp in an effort to fix this problem. Any thoughts?

Which version of Node.js you used?

Thanks!

Never mind it's running now (used node.js v0.6.16)

You do not need to edit the default config file to change listening to 0.0.0.0. Just provide the -i 0.0.0.0 argument on the command line. (this is what argv.i means).

How do I get v0.6.19 of Node.js?

I could not get libxml to install. I am about to give up. This does not work.

Hi,

This would certainly be very useful

I never got round to this install till now and in the meantime had got to this config:

Linux 3.1.9adafruit+cached (black raspberry)
node.js (version v0.9.3-pre)
npm (version 1.1.61)
sm (version 0.2.11)
(the root partition of my 4Gb SD card is 67% used)

Looks like the installation process has moved on somewhat https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9/blob/master/README.md

I have also updated everything else like nodejs-dev and libxml-dev
Also deleted the sourcemint caches

.. and still it won't install. Currently the first error I get is from gcc

>> cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-msse2’

Not sure what that refers to?

Anyone tried this install with the above versions? For other reasons I can't go back

Thx Paul.
